00:04:14.000 Good morning and welcome.
00:04:16.000 Now, I know what you're going to just give me a second.
00:04:18.000 Don't worry.
00:04:19.000 Steven is going to be here.
00:04:20.000 He's going to be just a minute late, but he asked me to go ahead and start the show for him.
00:04:24.000 And in kind of normal fashion, I try to piss Steven off right before we go on air just about every single day.
00:04:30.000 And Josh has happily stepped into that role because he's pro gay male cheerleader for some reason. 0.91
00:04:36.000 And it really pissed me off. 0.71
00:04:38.000 A completely irrelevant story to anything else we're talking about today.
00:04:41.000 That is not what I said.
00:04:42.000 You did it on purpose.
00:04:43.000 I do it to Steven every time.
00:04:45.000 I understand Steven, and I'm not.
00:04:46.000 Sorry, I will continue to do that.
00:04:48.000 So, we've got a fun show for you today.
00:04:49.000 And also, keeping an eye on the Lindsey Clancy trial, obviously, right before we started, it looks like there's going to be a hung jury.
00:04:57.000 They did come back and ask the judge what to do.
00:05:00.000 And he sent them back.
00:05:02.000 And it looks like it's going to be a hung jury.
00:05:03.000 I'm going to save my thoughts on that for just a little bit later.
00:05:06.000 It's hard to be grownups.
00:05:07.000 It's pissing me off quite a bit. 0.99
00:05:10.000 But we have some good comedy to get to because Scott Besant thinks Canada sucks. 0.97
00:05:15.000 And we love it when Scott. 0.75
00:05:16.000 Scott gets a little sassy, so we've got that for you.
00:05:18.000 Also, some details on the Venezuela oil deal.
00:05:21.000 It's pissing off all the right people and hint stuff like this has happened before and it's worked out pretty well.
00:05:27.000 And then they tried to make a gay Spider Man, and apparently there's some racism in the Green Lantern thing.
00:05:35.000 I really have no idea.
00:05:36.000 It's going to be a fun show, but let's just get on with it. 0.99
00:05:43.000 What's wrong with Little Quarterblack?
00:05:45.000 He had a rough day at school.
00:05:47.000 He said none of the kids would talk to him.
00:05:49.000 I have an idea.
00:05:51.000 Oh boy, Suge Knight Ruxpin.
00:05:53.000 I swear to y'all, it's like this. 0.99
00:05:55.000 I'm gonna beat the dog out of you. 1.00
00:05:57.000 If a nigga telling you that the police didn't do it, they're a punk ass. 1.00
00:06:00.000 Said if I asked me if I knew who killed Tupac, I'm the nigga. 1.00
00:06:03.000 Said, hey, absolutely not. 1.00
00:06:04.000 I'm gonna fuck you up, man. 1.00
00:06:06.000 That life fuck me up. 1.00
00:06:15.000 Good night, Suge Knight Ruxpin. 0.96
00:06:17.000 You'll be my best friend forever.
00:06:20.000 Cause we're all gonna die.
00:06:22.000 Nobody's gonna leave here alive and.
00:06:24.000 People die all the time.

00:07:20.000 All right, well, Gerald just told you what we're getting down to, so we might as well just get to it.
00:07:24.000 Yeah, let's do it.
00:07:25.000 Because I have an appointment after that.
00:07:29.000 We're going to be talking about Canada.
00:07:31.000 Chunky again. 1.00
00:07:32.000 But I have an appointment with a lady who makes sexy. 1.00
00:07:37.000 Ooh. 1.00
00:07:38.000 Proctologist.
00:07:39.000 Very much.
00:07:39.000 That's not.
00:07:40.000 Hey, if it's a proctologist, you're a dermatologist.
00:07:46.000 Dorm, talk to me, man.
00:07:48.000 Yeah, that's past not like that.
00:07:53.000 Oh.
00:07:54.000 Yeah, you want a piece of Jean Guy?
00:07:56.000 How about I give you the whole caboodle, man, and the kit?
00:08:01.000 Because you are like a kit car!
00:08:05.000 There's no way to argue with that.
00:08:07.000 You are unreliable.
00:08:13.000 It's weird.
00:08:13.000 Jean Guy Tremblay was one of the first things we did, and people for a long time hated it.
00:08:17.000 And then on X, I guess people finally understood it.
00:08:19.000 Yeah, we're fighting with Canada now, so it makes sense.
00:08:22.000 Hey, man.
00:08:23.000 I mean, not like a real fight.
00:08:24.000 No, it's not a fight.
00:08:26.000 You know, but we spar sometimes.
00:08:27.000 Captain Morgan, C.C.E.O., how are you?
00:08:33.000 Sometimes I put the wrong emphasis with the H. People think you're doing a character.
00:08:37.000 No, this is how they talk.
00:08:39.000 This is half of my family.
00:08:41.000 I'm doing well.
00:08:42.000 How are you?
00:08:42.000 I'm doing all right.
00:08:43.000 Nud.
00:08:44.000 Good.
00:08:44.000 We have a.
00:08:44.000 You get to go see the proctologist in a little bit.
00:08:46.000 Good.
00:08:46.000 I mean, they don't ask permission, so just so you know.
00:08:48.000 Stop with that proctologist.
00:08:50.000 Okay, that's enough.
00:08:51.000 I don't.
00:08:52.000 But you need to be more proctoactive in fixing your.
00:08:57.000 Tone with me, is that a thing?
00:09:01.000 That's it.
00:09:01.000 I speak me too.
00:09:03.000 I speak English too, but I don't speak it.
00:09:06.000 I don't, you know what? 1.00
00:09:06.000 I don't, hey, hey, hey, I don't speak stupid. 1.00
00:09:16.000 That's it. 0.98
00:09:18.000 Friday, November 25th, the average Joe's in Laredo, Texas.
00:09:21.000 Hey, Mr. Josh Firestone, he has no average Joe.
00:09:24.000 No, man, it's not average.
00:09:26.000 He's like, uh.
00:09:27.000 You know, 5'10's a little bit more.
00:09:33.000 That's me.
00:09:35.000 You know, it's not too much.
00:09:37.000 I'm a little bit more.
00:09:38.000 That's good to know.
00:09:38.000 A little bit more than average.
00:09:40.000 Well, 5'9 and 3 quarters, but I round up.
00:09:42.000 That's okay.
00:09:43.000 That's more.
00:09:43.000 I think average is like 5'8 or something.
00:09:48.000 And, you know, I think with the pygmy, it's like 4'2 centimeters.
00:09:57.000 Okay.
00:09:58.000 Anyway.
00:09:58.000 We're going to get to Canada and Sassy Scott.
00:10:02.000 Slaying. 1.00
00:10:02.000 But first, just because it's fun, here's a DoorDash driver in Houston and a lady who blacks it up when convenient. 1.00
00:10:10.000 DoorDash says it pulled one of their drivers. 0.98
00:10:14.000 Caught on camera, delivering food, no clothes on, naked in Northeast Houston. 0.94
00:10:21.000 She says it more black than the black guy later. 0.73
00:10:23.000 See how we had to blur out the stuff?
00:10:26.000 Well, on Monday, Keontae got a notification that his food arrived, so he checks his ring doorbell camera.
00:10:31.000 Sure enough, There's the food, but there's also a man wearing no clothes.
00:10:35.000 Matlock did not meet the driver at the door, obviously, and he says he threw the food away.
00:10:40.000 I don't blame him.
00:10:41.000 No, but I look, I say, Buddy got a onesie on?
00:10:45.000 Got a onesie on?
00:10:46.000 And so, you know, I open the camera and look, Buddy's completely naked.
00:10:51.000 By the time I got to the front, he was already gone.
00:10:55.000 You know, because I like, you know, I usually wait for the food so it don't sit outside.
00:11:00.000 But, you know, that night was different.
00:11:03.000 God intervened.
00:11:03.000 I didn't expect nobody to show up.
00:11:05.000 Dropped my food, I was naked, which is crazy.
00:11:07.000 Where's he putting the phone?
00:11:08.000 Go get your own food.
00:11:10.000 That's a good point.
00:11:12.000 Don't ask questions, don't want to be in the phone.
00:11:14.000 I mean, if you can't, then I guess just be careful and get you some cameras.
00:11:19.000 That's all I can say.
00:11:20.000 Yeah.
00:11:21.000 Although, in Canada, I don't know if you'd be allowed to, speaking of which.
00:11:24.000 No.
00:11:24.000 Remember, they wanted to ban the ring cameras because it violated privacy.
00:11:27.000 Right.
00:11:29.000 Of the nail, of course.
00:11:30.000 The naked.
00:11:31.000 The nail was facing the street, and so that could violate the privacy of people in the street.
00:11:35.000 Or the naked guy dropping off your tacos.
00:11:37.000 Never mind.
00:11:38.000 He could have taken his clothes off.
00:11:39.000 Okay.
00:11:39.000 I'm like, how did he pick up the food naked, too?
00:11:41.000 Oh, another brilliant take from the CEO.
00:11:44.000 I keep it up here.
00:11:45.000 Hey, man, I have a thought.
00:11:46.000 No, wait.
00:11:47.000 Ah, forget.
00:11:49.000 I'm thinking, of course.
00:11:51.000 Did he deliver other people naked or did he choose this guy to do it too?
00:11:55.000 We have a word for people like you in Quebec.
00:11:58.000 Do you?
00:11:59.000 Unemployed.
00:12:00.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:12:01.000 Because you're not going to work anymore.
00:12:03.000 He probably went through a drive-thru, I would assume.
00:12:06.000 Or maybe made another stop.
00:12:07.000 Is that what they're doing when I order something and it says heading your way and it doesn't give me a time estimate?
00:12:12.000 Are they going to someone's house and getting naked and doing weird things?
00:12:16.000 I think he was just naked in his car.
00:12:18.000 I mean, I don't think he took time to get naked.
00:12:20.000 I think he did.
00:12:21.000 What if he picked up the food?
00:12:22.000 What if he picked up the food?
00:12:23.000 It's probably the driver's fully clothed and he's like, The assistant.
00:12:26.000 He's Robin to the Batman.
00:12:28.000 So, this is like a hazing experiment or something?
00:12:30.000 No, I think it's for fun.
00:12:31.000 Yeah.
00:12:32.000 It is for fun.
00:12:33.000 Just going to walk around naked.
00:12:34.000 I mean, here's the thing this is the unwritten agreement.
00:12:37.000 It's hot and easy.
00:12:38.000 Let's be honest.
00:12:39.000 There are plenty of times where I wish I could disrobe.
00:12:41.000 I think all of us feel that way.
00:12:43.000 And we just don't.
00:12:45.000 So, we should hold everybody to the same standard.
00:12:47.000 Here's the host giving some more input.
00:12:50.000 I mean, I will grant you that it's hot out there, but you got to put on your drawers, people.
00:12:54.000 Drawers?
00:12:56.000 I don't even know where to go after that.
00:12:57.000 And shirt.
00:12:59.000 And pants.
00:13:00.000 Or a jumpsuit.
00:13:00.000 Let's go with what's in the prompter.
00:13:02.000 How about that?
00:13:03.000 Okay, Houston police recommend that you save any security video and report events like that directly to law enforcement.
00:13:09.000 I hope there are no other events like that.
00:13:12.000 Put your draws on.
00:13:13.000 And go to prison.
00:13:15.000 It's true.
00:13:16.000 You know what, mosquito bites down there.
00:13:17.000 Police are advising that you record the footage and keep it just in case things are not getting sexy.
00:13:27.000 You know what?
00:13:30.000 We have a nice day, me, my lady, day and night.
00:13:32.000 We make the craft dinner, take out the ketchup.
00:13:38.000 Houston Police Department.
00:13:41.000 People, that's a deep cut.
00:13:42.000 For people in Canada, you know the mac and cheese, we do that with ketchup. 0.98
00:13:47.000 That's how you know it's going to be time for make good sex together. 0.96
00:13:54.000 I also did that as a child. 0.75
00:13:56.000 Well, in Canada, you know, you never have to grow old.
00:14:04.000 We're young at art.
00:14:07.000 At art?
00:14:07.000 At art.
00:14:08.000 Hey, man, my art, it's pump blood just like you.
00:14:11.000 I have two feet, one brain.
00:14:13.000 We're the same, man.
00:14:14.000 We are the world.
00:14:16.000 Got it.
00:14:18.000 Speaking of Canada, there's this guy.
00:14:21.000 His name is Scott Besant.
00:14:23.000 Okay. 0.99
00:14:24.000 And the guy is gay, super gay. 0.98
00:14:29.000 But yesterday, he was there at the G20 meeting finance in Nashville. 0.98
00:14:36.000 And he decided to.
00:14:37.000 Here's the thing French Canada, we don't always like Carney Marks so much.
00:14:42.000 So, you know, it's okay to make fun of him sometime. 0.99
00:14:46.000 Here's Scott Sassy, the gay say thing. 0.96
00:14:49.000 He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros. 0.88
00:15:00.000 Are you meeting with your Canadian counterpart here?
00:15:02.000 I am.
00:15:03.000 Because I guess Mark is wondering if we're now in a tit for tat trade war.
00:15:07.000 Canada.
00:15:07.000 Well, I don't think you can be in a tit for tat with someone who's 13 times larger than you are.
00:15:12.000 They say they're doing okay.
00:15:14.000 Wow.
00:15:15.000 What else are they going to say?
00:15:16.000 We're not at war with Canada.
00:15:17.000 How are we going to be at war with Canada?
00:15:19.000 What is They're going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and stick them on us?
00:15:23.000 Yeah, we don't keep them at the mall.
00:15:27.000 Any country on the globe.
00:15:28.000 And he chose to walk away from it at the last minute.
00:15:37.000 I love that singer because it looks like my daughter's room.
00:15:40.000 You know, he was hoping some sailors were coming to see us.
00:15:43.000 The funny thing is, the Canadian military, and this used to be like, there used to be some outrages.
00:15:48.000 I remember, like, Greg Gutfeld, I had one too, where if you made fun of the Canadian military, they'd get really mad.
00:15:52.000 That's right.
00:15:52.000 In their media, and they talk about it.
00:15:53.000 But the truth is, even in kind of being flippant and making fun of them, he wasn't that far off.
00:15:58.000 No.
00:15:59.000 Like, it was actually closer than you would think.
00:16:01.000 So, you have some Canadians on X, and they're all talking about Canada should charge the United States tolls going through the Strait of Ontario.
00:16:08.000 Now, look, look.
00:16:09.000 We'll just annex it.
00:16:10.000 Let me just tell you, like, the whole Lake America thing, whatever.
00:16:13.000 I don't really care.
00:16:14.000 And I understand, too, Ontario, it comes from a word from the Huron, and it predates Canada.
00:16:19.000 All right, fine.
00:16:20.000 This isn't like a huge win, but I also understand drawing attention. 0.99
00:16:23.000 To how silly a place Canada is. 0.99
00:16:25.000 It is not a serious country. 1.00
00:16:28.000 It's not a serious country and it does not have serious leadership.
00:16:31.000 It can pose a serious threat though.
00:16:34.000 And so if you want to have these conversations, Canada is playing house about escalating tariff wars.
00:16:39.000 First off, you guys went first.
00:16:41.000 And if you want to talk about charging a toll, at the end of the day, well, that really means how are you going to enforce it?
00:16:46.000 That's what Scott Destin is talking about.
00:16:48.000 What?
00:16:49.000 And Canada can't.
00:16:50.000 Canada cannot.
00:16:51.000 The fact that Canada, I have said this many times, The fact that it is allowed to exist is proof that the United States is not the evil empire or colonialist power that the left tries to accuse us of being.
00:17:04.000 Nowhere else could you find a global superpower and empire that would allow Canada to exist and not simply immediately reap the rewards of all their resources.
00:17:12.000 Let me give you a few key facts just to let you know how great the disparity is between Canada and the United States.
00:17:19.000 And really, what I'm getting at is thank you, please, are the words that we would like to hear from Canada.
00:17:25.000 Not maybe we'll go with China, uh oh. 0.85
00:17:28.000 Are you now part of the Axis? 0.72
00:17:30.000 Are you no longer an ally? 0.62
00:17:32.000 Be careful.
00:17:33.000 So, Canada, let's look at military and let's look at financially, right?
00:17:37.000 Monetarily.
00:17:37.000 You can check the references, link in the description.
00:17:39.000 So, first, as far as the budget for the Canadian military, let's say it really comes to blows.
00:17:45.000 I will say this the Canadian military, they're good.
00:17:49.000 No, the people who are good are good.
00:17:51.000 They love their country and they're good at what they do.
00:17:53.000 As far as the budget, it's just a lot less of them.
00:17:55.000 Yes, there's a lot less of them.
00:17:57.000 And up until recently, I don't know if they still were allowed to drink beer.
00:18:00.000 Out there, they would have them on the base for the rations.
00:18:03.000 So, the budget the Canadian military, 63 billion.
00:18:06.000 Okay, that's quite a few billions.
00:18:08.000 Yeah.
00:18:08.000 The United States budget, over a trillion.
00:18:11.000 Ah.
00:18:12.000 Is it not even close?
00:18:13.000 It's not even close.
00:18:14.000 Then you look at their standing army, it's about 68,000.
00:18:16.000 All right, those are some numbers.
00:18:18.000 United States, 1.35 million.
00:18:22.000 Now.
00:18:22.000 Well, what are you going to do?
00:18:24.000 Hey, you know what?
00:18:24.000 They have a different strong suit, right?
00:18:27.000 Canada, there's a lot of coastline.
00:18:29.000 Okay, let's look at their naval size.
00:18:30.000 They have 22 ships, they have four submarines, and as far as carriers, It took me a while, but zero.
00:18:38.000 None.
00:18:40.000 Amen.
00:18:41.000 Zero is the hero.
00:18:43.000 Not in this case. 1.00
00:18:43.000 Pars is the worst. 1.00
00:18:49.000 Also, if you want to take a look at any of those ships, you're just crap out of luck.
00:18:55.000 They keep it close to the vest.
00:18:59.000 Amen. 0.56
00:18:59.000 I was updating the website, but my mom needed to use the telephone. 0.56
00:19:04.000 Mom, I told you, man, I'm using the internet.
00:19:09.000 I have to update the page for my Navy's call list.
00:19:14.000 Oh, I need a new CD.
00:19:15.000 That's it.
00:19:17.000 Man, careful, or I'm not going to burn you the mixtape.
00:19:23.000 It's a lot of newfound glory on that.
00:19:29.000 I don't know what.
00:19:30.000 United States, compared to the Navy, we only have 295 ships and 11 aircraft carriers.
00:19:37.000 What's 11 more than zero?
00:19:41.000 That will look like, yeah, but you know what?
00:19:42.000 You can pull economic levers. 0.87
00:19:44.000 Okay, Canada, you unserious country full of unserious people.
00:19:48.000 Alberta, you know, I'm not addressing you guys. 0.82
00:19:49.000 You guys are cool.
00:19:51.000 Let's look at 2015 because the numbers get even worse when you actually look at the trend.
00:19:54.000 Here's the thing the United States and Canada used to be allies.
00:19:57.000 That's true, right?
00:19:58.000 Oh, they're our greatest friend.
00:19:59.000 Okay, that has been degrading.
00:20:02.000 It gets even worse when you look at the trend line as far as our economies and how they are growing.
00:20:07.000 So the 2015 GDP per capita, Canada was 43,000.
00:20:10.000 United States was 57,000.
00:20:11.000 Okay, significant, but not huge.
00:20:14.000 That's 2015.
00:20:14.000 Then you go to 2025, the GDP per capita, Canada, 45,000, about unchanged.
00:20:20.000 United States, 68,000.
00:20:21.000 Ah!
00:20:22.000 So it just keeps widening.
00:20:24.000 So, Canada, what are you going to do?
00:20:28.000 This is the real question.
00:20:29.000 What are you going to do when the United States says, you know what, this needs to be fair?
00:20:35.000 This whole mooching, this idea that, well, the United States is big enough so they can absorb the costs for insert whatever it is lumber, dairy, steel, take any category.
00:20:45.000 All right, how about we just say, yeah, but we don't want to?
00:20:50.000 We're not trying to conquer you, we just don't want to.
00:20:55.000 We want to focus on what we have here.
00:20:56.000 Oh, wait, you're going to slap. 0.98
00:20:58.000 Well, here's why because our dairy industry would destroy yours in Canada. 0.99
00:21:01.000 We could make it cheaper.
00:21:02.000 We could make it more available and better.
00:21:04.000 Take any category with the tariffs.
00:21:08.000 We just don't want to do business the way that you guys want to do business.
00:21:11.000 So we're not going to.
00:21:13.000 What are you going to do?
00:21:14.000 Make it hurt us more?
00:21:16.000 You can't do that.
00:21:18.000 Do something militarily?
00:21:19.000 You can't do that.
00:21:21.000 The only thing Canada could do would be, as Carney has alluded to, align itself with Canada. 0.84
00:21:27.000 Communist China, in which case we have to decimate your country. 0.54
00:21:33.000 Or, or you just stop trying to screw the United States in a lot of these trade deals with the justification of you're big enough so you can take it. 0.81
00:21:45.000 At a certain point, I mean, if you get bitten by a mosquito, right?
00:21:47.000 Okay, yeah, it's going to kill you.
00:21:49.000 But at a certain point, you just don't want to keep getting bitten by mosquitoes.
00:21:51.000 Of course.
00:21:52.000 Why is it a problem for us to want a fair trade deal for us when they need us way, way more than we need them?
00:21:57.000 We want a deal.
00:21:58.000 It was offered to them.
00:21:59.000 They walked away from it.
00:22:00.000 Carney's only in office because he was the anti Trump guy.
00:22:03.000 Right.
00:22:03.000 That's it.
00:22:04.000 Yeah.
00:22:05.000 Like, we understand the game that's being played right now.
00:22:07.000 Don't get mad at us when we play it.
00:22:09.000 Well, one of the sticking points was having, you know, bilingual, you know, labeling laws.
00:22:14.000 Yeah.
00:22:14.000 You want to have French in there.
00:22:16.000 You guys ever seen, I didn't really know to the extent, because every now and then I'll be in the States, maybe I'll order something online and I'll come in and I'll be like, oh, it has the English and French instruction manual.
00:22:24.000 And I realized it was made for that market.
00:22:26.000 That was everything that we had.
00:22:27.000 What if America says, well, we don't want to?
00:22:30.000 That's your sticking point.
00:22:31.000 We don't want to.
00:22:33.000 Even national language, it's English.
00:22:37.000 Think of the entitlement.
00:22:38.000 Yeah.
00:22:38.000 I have to cough.
00:22:42.000 Yeah, Canada should start acting like a sidekick, it is.
00:22:45.000 That's, yeah.
00:22:46.000 Hey, man, sidekick.
00:22:48.000 No, that's not the. 1.00
00:22:49.000 I'll sidekick your ass. 1.00
00:22:50.000 You can understand that. 1.00
00:22:53.000 That's it.
00:22:54.000 Yes.
00:22:54.000 Oh, sidekick.
00:22:55.000 How about I do the sidekick to your toss the coal, man?
00:23:00.000 Where I'm going to sidekick you so hard down there, you're going to.
00:23:05.000 Crash, you're gonna spit it out.
00:23:08.000 People say, What's that on the floor? 1.00
00:23:09.000 I say, That's the testicle of the Spit American man. 1.00
00:23:14.000 Because I sidekick him. 1.00
00:23:20.000 That's it.
00:23:20.000 No more hellbows up.
00:23:21.000 Canada, sidekick Tabernacle.
00:23:29.000 Now, see what?
00:23:30.000 That's about as serious as Canada is as a country.
00:23:35.000 I hope we've crystallized it for you.
00:23:37.000 But speaking of which, actually, I don't even want to spend that much more time on Canada because Canada's not worth it. 0.99
00:23:42.000 Get your ass in line, get your stuff together. 0.99
00:23:43.000 It's time for a Korean fire drill because I got to go. 1.00
00:23:45.000 Oh, all right.
00:24:20.000 Are you ready?
00:24:21.000 Yeah.
00:24:22.000 All right, everything's good.
00:24:23.000 Okay.
00:24:25.000 Got the sign.
00:24:25.000 Thank you, Billy.
00:24:26.000 Appreciate that.
00:24:27.000 You know what?
00:24:28.000 Maybe Canada's just being, you know, Mr. Cranky Pants because they don't really drink enough coffee up there.
00:24:38.000 Okay.
00:24:38.000 You do it, Josh.
00:24:39.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:24:42.000 Oh, what are you guys doing?
00:24:45.000 Electroshock therapy.
00:24:47.000 Oh, obviously, but why?
00:24:50.000 To wake us up, of course.
00:24:51.000 Yeah, and to get ants.
00:24:52.000 We've got a show to do.
00:24:53.000 Yeah.
00:24:55.000 Thanks.
00:24:56.000 You don't have to do this, okay?
00:25:01.000 You don't have to do this. 1.00
00:25:02.000 Think gay thoughts, I hear. 1.00
00:25:03.000 Electroshock is good for gay thoughts. 1.00
00:25:05.000 No, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, stop, stop, stop. 1.00
00:25:08.000 Listen, guys, guys, there are better ways to wake yourselves up, okay?
00:25:13.000 Okay.
00:25:13.000 Good point, Gerald.
00:25:15.000 You forgot to wet the sponge, the electrical.
00:25:18.000 Stop whatever in the green mile you're doing right now and just try blackout coffee.
00:25:22.000 You know, the guys that you worked with to make the strange animal blend?
00:25:25.000 Ring a bell.
00:25:27.000 Why don't I remember that?
00:25:30.000 One guess.
00:25:31.000 Here.
00:25:36.000 That's good. Yeah. Let me try.
00:25:38.000 Yeah. Yeah. You take these. Okay.
00:25:43.000 Mmm.
00:25:44.000 Papa's green.
00:25:49.000 Go to blackoutcoffee.comslash Crowder.
00:25:52.000 Use the promo code Crowder for 20% off your first order and try.

00:26:10.000 Blackoutcoffee.com slash Crowder if you want to see him get electrocuted even more.
00:26:15.000 For every bag, we add a minute to the timer.
00:26:19.000 This one right here.
00:26:21.000 This nice looking bag that we have, this beautiful bag.
00:26:24.000 Doesn't it look great?
00:26:25.000 It looks like any other bag, Dad. 0.99
00:26:27.000 Shut your eye hole. 0.99
00:26:28.000 Oh my god, beautiful. 0.91
00:26:30.000 They had a bag here that was like vacuum sealed that looked like a golf ball with all the dimples on it.
00:26:34.000 I'm a little angry today, okay?
00:26:40.000 No, the other bag looked like cellulite.
00:26:42.000 This one looks like smooth legs.
00:26:44.000 It did.
00:26:45.000 Yeah, the fight's out there.
00:26:46.000 That's weird.
00:26:46.000 The fight is out there.
00:26:48.000 And listen, I held it back a little bit because Canada is a silly place, but I am very angry at what is happening right now with the Lindsey Clancy trial.
00:27:00.000 And earlier today, they told the judge that they could not reach. 0.82
00:27:04.000 A unanimous verdict.
00:27:06.000 What?
00:27:07.000 And I mean, you know what that means.
00:27:11.000 You know exactly what that means.
00:27:12.000 I know people are going to say, well, they're going to go back and they're going to deliberate.
00:27:14.000 It's not going to change one thing.
00:27:17.000 It's going to be a hung jury, and then prosecutors will likely have to retry this case.
00:27:21.000 And I say likely because technically they could decide not to.
00:27:24.000 There could be other things that happen.
00:27:26.000 That would be insane.
00:27:29.000 But I am just, and I'm going to spend just a second here because I am floored.
00:27:35.000 That we live in a country where you can murder three kids and not even have a question about whether you did it or not, and a jury cannot come to a unanimous verdict.
00:27:45.000 And you'll have people outside the courthouse cheering this.
00:27:48.000 You have people online cheering this, women across the country, far more than you would ever possibly think.
00:27:57.000 They'll be cheering this.
00:27:57.000 They're saying this is a win for women's rights, and finally, people are going to pay attention.
00:28:02.000 And it is absolutely evil.
00:28:05.000 It just is pure evil.
00:28:07.000 And I think women right now that are pretty sane about this are disgusted just as much as I am. 0.99
00:28:15.000 It's ridiculous. 0.88
00:28:16.000 It's ridiculous to live in a country where this kind of trial is not unanimous and it's not fast in reaching that decision. 0.98
00:28:25.000 Can we do same day processing for the death penalty?
00:28:27.000 I know they don't have it up there.
00:28:28.000 I know it's not on the table up there, but it absolutely should be. 0.92
00:28:32.000 It's ridiculous.
00:28:33.000 Also, there is another court case going on right now with the Charlie Kirk assassination. 0.85
00:28:37.000 The judge in the trial is going to decide if Tyler Robinson will go to trial and if he will face the death penalty.
00:28:43.000 They're going to do some closing arguments on that particular portion of this.
00:28:46.000 Obviously, not the trial, just saying when the trial is going to be.
00:28:49.000 We'll monitor that and let you guys know if any of that happens here in the next little bit.
00:28:53.000 So, kind of pissed off about the Lindsey Clancy thing this morning, but we have fun starting.
00:28:58.000 The three men are holding the line.
00:29:01.000 The three men there, you know, that's the reason why there's no verdict.
00:29:04.000 What if it's not?
00:29:04.000 What if it's the three guys that are like, I don't know, man?
00:29:07.000 I don't know, dude.
00:29:08.000 Well, then they get their man card taken away.
00:29:10.000 They have to.
00:29:11.000 I mean, so a legitimate question comes up Is there a jury that is going to do the right thing?
00:29:17.000 Is this just going to happen multiple times and we're all just going to go, like, what?
00:29:21.000 The hell is going on, especially in Massachusetts?
00:29:23.000 Like, is this ever going to actually happen?
00:29:27.000 Is there going to be a just verdict in this case?
00:29:31.000 I certainly hope so, but I guarantee you right now, women that are supporting this, this is not having the effect that you think it is on the country.
00:29:40.000 This is not like a wave of support coming to your rescue.
00:29:42.000 This is a bunch of people that are being exposed as crazy people that need to be completely ignored right now in society.
00:29:49.000 Completely.
00:29:50.000 You're making the case for the red pill right guys right now.
00:29:55.000 Don't think it's going to work out the way you want it to.
00:29:57.000 Okay, we'll move on for a minute because otherwise, I'm just going to get more and more angry as we go.
00:30:02.000 And so we have to go into something that's kind of funny.
00:30:03.000 Angrier, angrier.
00:30:04.000 More and more angry.
00:30:05.000 No, this is something Gerald likes.
00:30:07.000 This is not something that I. Why would you say that?
00:30:09.000 I don't like it.
00:30:10.000 You're just saying I don't want to be angry.
00:30:11.000 Marvel and DC are back in the news on issues of, in order, gayness for Marvel and racism for DC.
00:30:20.000 And that brings us to the entertainment minute.
00:30:22.000 Okay.
00:30:32.000 Mo angry.
00:30:33.000 Spider Man.
00:30:35.000 I kind of like Spider Man, but I was never a Spider Man kid.
00:30:37.000 I was like, I wasn't like Batman.
00:30:39.000 I was Wolverine.
00:30:40.000 I was kind of like that third option for a guy.
00:30:43.000 Oh, okay.
00:30:43.000 Wolverine's cool too.
00:30:44.000 Wolverine's very cool.
00:30:45.000 But he's ruthless.
00:30:46.000 Yeah, that's kind of why I liked him.
00:30:47.000 Yeah, that is.
00:30:49.000 Spider Man was too nice.
00:30:50.000 Yeah, you're hoping.
00:30:50.000 Batman wouldn't use guns.
00:30:51.000 And I'm like, what a fag. 1.00
00:30:52.000 You're hoping Lindsey Clancy sends to Wolverine. 1.00
00:30:57.000 Yes.
00:30:58.000 See, that makes a lot more sense to me.
00:31:00.000 Tell you what doesn't make sense.
00:31:01.000 In 2013, Andrew Garfield said.
00:31:03.000 He really wanted to see a gay Spider Man, which makes me have a lot of questions about Sir Andrew.
00:31:09.000 He said, I was kind of joking, but kind of not joking about MJ.
00:31:13.000 I was like, what if MJ is a dude?
00:31:15.000 Homo.
00:31:16.000 Why can't we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality?
00:31:19.000 It's hardly even groundbreaking.
00:31:21.000 So, why can't he be gay?
00:31:23.000 Why can't he be into boys?
00:31:26.000 I would have said men, but I understand the direction that you're going here. 0.76
00:31:29.000 And they tried a gay Spider Man, but it didn't land with the test audiences.
00:31:43.000 Haters will say that's AI.
00:31:47.000 How old is that, John?
00:31:48.000 Is he like 70?
00:31:50.000 You know.
00:31:51.000 I mean, this was in 2000.
00:31:52.000 Yeah, that's definitely grooming.
00:31:53.000 That was 2002.
00:31:54.000 So, I mean, 50s.
00:31:56.000 Everybody was 70 in 2002.
00:31:59.000 I don't think so.
00:32:01.000 And just if you thought like this was a remnant of 2013 and all the stuff that we had to deal with in that era leading up to and including the first Trump presidency and Biden and obviously the end of Barack Obama, nope.
00:32:13.000 In an interview yesterday, he actually revealed his feelings haven't changed and he took it a little further and said, I quote, because you don't see skin color, you don't see gender, you don't see sexuality, anyone can project themselves into that suit.
00:32:29.000 So we've added gender into the mixture here.
00:32:32.000 I guess Spider Man can wear a suit where he can be a woman with breasts, but then tuck it, I guess. 0.80
00:32:38.000 I don't know. 1.00
00:32:38.000 There are female Spider Mans. 1.00
00:32:40.000 Huh? 1.00
00:32:40.000 There are female Spider Mans. 1.00
00:32:41.000 Female Spiders. 1.00
00:32:43.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:32:43.000 Hmm. 1.00
00:32:44.000 In different timelines, different versions of Spider Man?
00:32:46.000 In the multiplayer.
00:32:47.000 I don't think that's what he's getting at, though.
00:32:48.000 I don't either.
00:32:49.000 No, I don't think so, but I was just putting it out there. 0.98
00:32:51.000 I think what he's trying to get to is that he really wants an excuse to kiss a gay dude. 1.00
00:32:55.000 If you have a piece of shit. 1.00
00:32:56.000 He's like, well, if you pay me for it and it's in a movie, I'll do it 40 times. 1.00
00:33:00.000 He wanted to be forced into it so he didn't have to.
00:33:02.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:33:03.000 He's like, well, dude, I'm not gay. 0.98
00:33:04.000 It's work.
00:33:05.000 It's my job.
00:33:05.000 He could have taken the Brokeback Mountain role or something like that.
00:33:08.000 I don't think he was offered it.
00:33:09.000 It's not that great of a guy.
00:33:10.000 I don't think you're just going to pick your role.
00:33:12.000 No.
00:33:12.000 I think he was like 10 when that movie came out.
00:33:16.000 That would be a little weird.
00:33:18.000 I don't think that's true.
00:33:19.000 You want to see a 10 year old in Brokeback Mountain?
00:33:21.000 No.
00:33:21.000 Yeah, that's what you suggested.
00:33:22.000 Holy hell.
00:33:23.000 You were like, man, I wish Sheath Ledger and Jake Gillin all broke back Mountain 2 back on the range.
00:33:28.000 Okay.
00:33:29.000 What is that, like the Boy Scout movie?
00:33:31.000 Ew.
00:33:32.000 Gross.
00:33:33.000 But Garfield does have a particular person in mind that he would like to see fill this role. 1.00
00:33:38.000 By the way, I just want to make sure when you fill the Spider Man suit and anybody can project in there, not if you have a Penis because it's a skin tight suit, and if you have a penis, we can see that you have a penis. 1.00
00:33:49.000 They all have penises. 1.00
00:33:51.000 I know. 1.00
00:33:51.000 That's what I'm saying. 1.00
00:33:52.000 Wait a minute. 1.00
00:33:53.000 What penis are you watching? 1.00
00:33:55.000 What Spider Man movie are you watching? 1.00
00:33:57.000 Oh my gosh.
00:33:58.000 I thought it was Spider Man.
00:33:59.000 I love it when Steven's not here. 1.00
00:34:00.000 You all become retards. 1.00
00:34:02.000 It's actually his penis. 1.00
00:34:04.000 It's pretty hard to cut off Spider Man's penis because he has tough skin. 1.00
00:34:09.000 You can't see his penis. 1.00
00:34:11.000 I've watched the movies. 1.00
00:34:14.000 Lane was looking for Spider Man's penis. 0.99
00:34:16.000 We'll have more on that later on. 0.99
00:34:17.000 But Garfield wants Michael B. Jordan to be the Gay Spider Man.
00:34:21.000 He said, I've been obsessed with Michael B. Jordan since The Wire.
00:34:25.000 He's so charismatic and talented.
00:34:28.000 It'd be even better.
00:34:29.000 We'd have interracial bisexuality. 0.65
00:34:31.000 But he's not bisexual and he's like 40.
00:34:34.000 Yeah, but he's just wanting a gay Spider Man. 0.68
00:34:36.000 He just wants to bone Michael B. Jordan and he wants it to be a part of the role. 0.66
00:34:40.000 He's like, I'll be your MJ.
00:34:42.000 He watched Black Panther and he's like, man, I wish that was MJ. 0.61
00:34:46.000 Oh, look, they already did try a 40 year old black Spider Man, but it just didn't hit the same. 0.52
00:34:55.000 I'm too old for this. 1.00
00:34:58.000 I guess they're right.
00:34:59.000 Anybody can project themselves into that suit and also apparently not be obviously a male.
00:35:03.000 I would see a Spider Man.
00:35:05.000 Yeah, that would be cool.
00:35:06.000 I actually would be a really cool Spider Man. 0.91
00:35:09.000 If he teamed up with anti Semite Mel Gibson, that would be a hell of a thing. 0.69
00:35:12.000 Oh, dude.
00:35:12.000 Oh, yeah.
00:35:12.000 That would be a really cool thing.
00:35:17.000 Just kidding, Mel.
00:35:17.000 Just an unleashed Mel Gibson at his worst.
00:35:20.000 Just take all of his foot off.
00:35:21.000 I would see Mel Gibson's Spider Man.
00:35:23.000 Hell yeah.
00:35:24.000 Yeah, I would watch that twice.
00:35:26.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:35:26.000 Because maybe he'd actually kill somebody. 0.98
00:35:28.000 It would be. 0.92
00:35:28.000 Yeah, it would be. 0.92
00:35:29.000 And not feel bad about it.
00:35:31.000 Passionate Spider Man.
00:35:32.000 Freaking Superman. 0.99
00:35:33.000 Everyone just kill people. 1.00
00:35:34.000 You want to see their penises for them to kill people. 1.00
00:35:37.000 I don't want to see their penises. 1.00
00:35:38.000 I'm saying that you can. 1.00
00:35:39.000 And I do want evil to be killed. 0.98
00:35:41.000 I understand that you don't. 0.97
00:35:42.000 It's a weird position to take.
00:35:44.000 In 2022, though, Marvel did introduce a gay Spider Man called Web Weaver. 0.62
00:35:48.000 Is this real? 1.00
00:35:49.000 Yeah, they've done a lot of gay stuff. 1.00
00:35:52.000 Where's the web coming out of? 1.00
00:35:54.000 You don't want to know.
00:35:55.000 And so I guess this was bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker.
00:35:59.000 And he balances a double life of a fashion designer and superhero.
00:36:02.000 Nothing like playing into the stereotypes, though, right?
00:36:04.000 It couldn't have been like just a normal, average, everyday guy that happens to be gay.
00:36:08.000 Couldn't have been Scott Besant. 0.81
00:36:09.000 It's like, yeah, exactly. 1.00
00:36:10.000 It's like a flaming homosexual. 0.98
00:36:11.000 Yeah, there's no gay photographers. 1.00
00:36:14.000 No.
00:36:15.000 Peter Parker's a photographer, by the way.
00:36:17.000 Thank you.
00:36:17.000 Yeah, for a newspaper.
00:36:19.000 He's not like a glamour photographer.
00:36:21.000 Am I going to get pushed back from everybody today?
00:36:24.000 Are you looking at me like what?
00:36:25.000 Does it pick up Gerald Day because I'm pissed off about the Lindsey Glancy verdict and that there shouldn't be cheerleaders in the NFL that are males?
00:36:32.000 Huh?
00:36:33.000 Yeah.
00:36:33.000 Got it.
00:36:34.000 At least if Spider Man was a fashion designer, no one would see it. 0.99
00:36:38.000 I'm going to fucking lose it, okay? 0.99
00:36:41.000 All right. 0.99
00:36:43.000 Dude, he would have a fabulous suit.
00:36:46.000 It would be very nice.
00:36:48.000 But that's like a really Terrible looking suits.
00:36:50.000 Well, that's fashion, baby.
00:36:52.000 So it's supposed to, yeah.
00:36:53.000 Kids' cartoon, right?
00:36:54.000 It's going to be kids' comic book.
00:36:56.000 Yeah.
00:36:56.000 This is really bad.
00:36:58.000 They need to know what's going on.
00:36:58.000 They shouldn't do any of this stuff.
00:37:00.000 And by the way, listen, putting this kind of a superhero in there, like another character coming up with something else or another version of it, will just never be okay.
00:37:08.000 It's never going to be enough.
00:37:10.000 They want to try and ruin all of it, right?
00:37:12.000 So the Spider Man that just came out, it's one of the highest grossing movies out there of all time, not just of superhero movies or even Spider Man movies.
00:37:20.000 Yeah.
00:37:20.000 And MJ has the chest of a dude.
00:37:21.000 So it's all settled.
00:37:25.000 That's fair.
00:37:27.000 That was mean.
00:37:27.000 I'm sorry.
00:37:27.000 The movie's apolitical.
00:37:28.000 Like, I didn't see a whole lot of, you know, pushing for any agendas or anything like that in this movie.
00:37:33.000 It was just a good movie.
00:37:34.000 And people liked it.
00:37:35.000 And they paid money to go see it.
00:37:37.000 Fantastic.
00:37:37.000 It's a crazy concept.
00:37:38.000 Just do more of that.
00:37:41.000 On to Green Lantern before I kill people in the studio.
00:37:44.000 The new series, Lanterns.
00:37:46.000 And by the way, I don't know if you've heard this.
00:37:48.000 I've heard like so many people are like, man, you've got to watch Lanterns.
00:37:51.000 It's so good.
00:37:51.000 So much so that we almost.
00:37:53.000 Clicked on it to watch.
00:37:54.000 We have different algorithms.
00:37:56.000 No, I know.
00:37:57.000 I'm glad that I'm getting this side of the algorithm because I ain't watching it after this. 0.77
00:38:01.000 So the new series, Lanterns, follows the veteran Lantern, Hal Jordan, and a new black recruit, Jon Stewart, and they investigate crime on Earth. 1.00
00:38:11.000 Oh, Black Jon Stewart. 1.00
00:38:12.000 He stole the ring. 1.00
00:38:13.000 Yeah.
00:38:16.000 Where'd you get that?
00:38:17.000 Man, I had this for a while.
00:38:20.000 I've been looking for that.
00:38:21.000 Nope.
00:38:21.000 This is mine.
00:38:23.000 The show is highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes, but as we've seen in the past with a number of other movies or shows, Metacritic tends to tell a little bit of a different story.
00:38:31.000 It's kind of mixed.
00:38:32.000 Critics at 72, audience at 5.7.
00:38:34.000 Now, on the Metacritic score, it's 5.7 out of 10.
00:38:39.000 10.
00:38:39.000 Yeah.
00:38:39.000 I don't know why they do the.
00:38:40.000 It's a weird.
00:38:41.000 Yeah.
00:38:41.000 It's just they wanted to make it easier for audience members to review.
00:38:45.000 They thought 1 to 10 was simpler.
00:38:47.000 Okay.
00:38:47.000 Gotcha.
00:38:48.000 Sure.
00:38:49.000 I don't know, but that's what they said.
00:38:50.000 But there are quite a few hot takes on this from people involved and maybe podcasts.
00:38:56.000 Covering it.
00:38:57.000 So, writer and producer, a producer.
00:38:59.000 Producer.
00:39:00.000 Writer and producer.
00:39:02.000 It was an accidental.
00:39:03.000 I slipped into.
00:39:04.000 Writer and producer.
00:39:06.000 Used to hang with Medusa. 0.97
00:39:07.000 We're doing that black face shoot later, right? 0.95
00:39:09.000 Okay, I'll save it. 0.97
00:39:10.000 Whoa.
00:39:10.000 Writer and producer, Vanessa Baden Kelly says black heroes don't have much of an origin story.
00:39:17.000 Vanessa, I want you to start us off.
00:39:18.000 Talk to me about taking this Jon Stewart story, twisting it, and making it closer to how Jordan and like the social like constructs of society.
00:39:27.000 Well, you know, in the room, we had Tom King with us.
00:39:30.000 And everything that we were looking up, and those of us who had spent some time in the comics really couldn't remember too much about an Orton story for Jon Stewart beyond the Marines and beyond his father also being a serviceman.
00:39:41.000 There you go.
00:39:41.000 So we would ask Tom, is there anything else?
00:39:44.000 And Tom was like, no.
00:39:45.000 And that's unfortunately a lot of the backstory for a lot of black superheroes there isn't much.
00:39:50.000 Yeah.
00:39:51.000 You know, so we, in some ways, were given a gift that we can come in here and create something that felt grounded in the black American experience.
00:40:02.000 Okay.
00:40:03.000 They're mad that he doesn't have an origin story?
00:40:05.000 Have these.
00:40:06.000 I don't think they're mad.
00:40:07.000 Have they never heard of Blade? 0.99
00:40:10.000 Like, why do all these black people in comics not pretend Blade doesn't exist? 0.72
00:40:13.000 He's like the most badass character. 0.99
00:40:15.000 It's true. 1.00
00:40:15.000 It's because as soon as you acknowledge the existence of that character and Wesley Snipes' iteration of him, you have to say, oh shit, they've been making sick ass black characters for 30 years and we can't keep bitching. 1.00
00:40:26.000 Spawn. 1.00
00:40:27.000 Spawn is awesome.
00:40:28.000 Spawn was very good as well.
00:40:29.000 I'm pretty sure Black Panther has an origin story.
00:40:32.000 Like, I don't know.
00:40:33.000 Yeah, it's fake, but it's, you know.
00:40:35.000 No, there's definitely an origin story, and it was one of the highest grossing films.
00:40:39.000 It was.
00:40:39.000 When it came out.
00:40:40.000 Yeah.
00:40:40.000 Incredibly well, but they have to find a reason.
00:40:43.000 Blade's origin goes to the 1920s.
00:40:45.000 I'm just sorry.
00:40:45.000 I'm stuck on the Blade.
00:40:46.000 Blade is.
00:40:47.000 Blade is.
00:40:48.000 I never took to it.
00:40:49.000 See, this is the problem because when this all started, when all the kind of comic book movies really started coming out, Marvel, Universe, whole thing, I knew all of it because I'd grown up on it, except for Blade.
00:40:59.000 And I don't know where Blade fell.
00:41:01.000 Surely.
00:41:01.000 No, I.
00:41:02.000 I liked the movies.
00:41:03.000 I thought they were fantastic, but I didn't know that that was technically a comic book kind of classified movie.
00:41:09.000 And so afterwards, I'm hearing that, I'm like, yeah, that was one of my first favorites.
00:41:12.000 Like, I don't even know what I would go to before that that was like, other than maybe like some of the Batmans and stuff like that. 0.76
00:41:17.000 But that's about it. 0.80
00:41:19.000 Fantastic.
00:41:19.000 We've been doing it for a while.
00:41:20.000 So shut up. 0.99
00:41:21.000 Also, Cyborg. 1.00
00:41:22.000 Yeah.
00:41:23.000 He's a DC character, he has an origin story.
00:41:26.000 Yeah.
00:41:27.000 Yeah.
00:41:28.000 So, yeah, I don't have anything else to say about this.
00:41:30.000 So does Robert Downey Jr.
00:41:31.000 Josh.
00:41:32.000 Josh.
00:41:33.000 Fantastic.
00:41:33.000 All right.
00:41:33.000 So that's right.
00:41:34.000 He's black. 0.94
00:41:36.000 Yeah. 0.95
00:41:36.000 Depending on which movie. 0.95
00:41:39.000 The podcast host Juju Green tells us all what blacks really fear job interviews. 0.99
00:41:47.000 The genius thing that I want to talk about of this episode is framing this through the lens of a job interview. 0.99
00:41:52.000 Right?
00:41:53.000 This doesn't happen like this.
00:41:54.000 Sounds scary.
00:41:55.000 But as a black man and as a black person being in an interview, that's like one of our worst nightmares. 0.95
00:42:02.000 Being in a position to be a black person. 0.98
00:42:03.000 That's the worst nightmare. 1.00
00:42:04.000 Bio white person. 1.00
00:42:05.000 You're being considered for a job. 0.99
00:42:07.000 What makes You're good for the job.
00:42:08.000 Yeah.
00:42:09.000 So there's a dance that they're doing the entire episode where John is trying to show that I am exactly who I said that I am, but I'm also the man for the job.
00:42:18.000 Right. 0.98
00:42:18.000 And I feel like so many black people have to do that. 0.98
00:42:20.000 Like, we have to do that, which is like, I am exactly all of the things that you want me to be, but I also know that you probably don't want all of me because. 0.99
00:42:31.000 That is correct.
00:42:34.000 What are we even doing? 1.00
00:42:36.000 It's because you're black that you have to be someone different in an interview. 0.97
00:42:39.000 I never have to. 0.99
00:42:40.000 To do that.
00:42:40.000 When I came to this interview, I said how I like to crush, you know, 30 packs of high noons on the weekends.
00:42:45.000 That's not where I thought you were going.
00:42:47.000 High noons weren't a thing when you came here, all right?
00:42:49.000 That was a later invention you just lied.
00:42:50.000 It would have been White Claw.
00:42:51.000 It would have been White Claw.
00:42:52.000 That's what they're confusing interviews with interrogation.
00:42:57.000 Ah.
00:42:57.000 Are they under the impression that other people don't also feel this in their interview process?
00:43:00.000 No, we don't do that.
00:43:00.000 Do they think that I go to an interview and I don't have in the back of my mind that I'm not supposed to talk to you about how I play Dance Dance Revolution naked at the arcade?
00:43:08.000 Nice.
00:43:10.000 That's a crime, Josh.
00:43:11.000 Not if it's empty.
00:43:13.000 Facts.
00:43:14.000 I don't think that that's the law.
00:43:15.000 I don't know.
00:43:16.000 But I think really what they think happens in an interview with white people is like, oh, you're white? 0.91
00:43:21.000 Fantastic. 0.97
00:43:21.000 You got the job. 0.97
00:43:22.000 Everybody puts their best foot forward.
00:43:24.000 Everybody kind of conceals things.
00:43:25.000 Everybody goes into an interview a little bit nervous about that.
00:43:28.000 But our biggest threat, I thought cops were your greatest fear.
00:43:33.000 Or a systemic racist society was your greatest fear.
00:43:36.000 Job interviews?
00:43:37.000 That's the fear. 1.00
00:43:39.000 I don't, these people suck. 1.00
00:43:40.000 I mean, job interviews can be scary. 1.00
00:43:42.000 Yes.
00:43:42.000 They're intimidating.
00:43:44.000 You're trying to get a job.
00:43:45.000 You want this job.
00:43:46.000 You want a job.
00:43:46.000 Provide a life for yourself and your family.
00:43:48.000 We get it.
00:43:49.000 It's scary.
00:43:49.000 You're not the only one, dude.
00:43:50.000 Yeah, every single person on the planet goes in to job interviews a little nervous and puts their best foot forward and says, You don't want all of me because some people listen to Screamo and they're white.
00:44:01.000 I let AI write my resume. 0.55
00:44:03.000 Isn't that enough for you people?
00:44:05.000 I'm a people person. 0.98
00:44:07.000 They should be in H1B.
00:44:08.000 They'll just get hired on paper.
00:44:09.000 Ooh, that's actually right.
00:44:11.000 They'd be like, I'm from like really far South India. 1.00
00:44:13.000 Is that, is it, I know there's darker and light.
00:44:15.000 Let me look at the paper.
00:44:16.000 Is your squares higher?
00:44:18.000 Did you cheat on them?
00:44:19.000 One of Lannard's actors, Jay Alphonse, is it Alphonse?
00:44:22.000 Who gave a shout out to black women and listen to who he credits.
00:44:30.000 Well, listen to who he like thinks about what the future may have been if. 0.99
00:44:35.000 Only she was elected, Kamala.
00:44:37.000 Ultimately, though, I think it's so important.
00:44:39.000 I think this show hits it home that this black woman is the reason why this young man goes where he needs to go.
00:44:47.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:44:48.000 And like I said, shout out to HBO, shout out to Chris Mundy, shout out to James Gunn, but especially.
00:44:53.000 What's the show?
00:44:53.000 Between Two Cannabis?
00:44:54.000 Baden Kelly.
00:44:55.000 Two Cannabis.
00:44:57.000 In this story.
00:44:58.000 I'm a quarter of my real lives, you know.
00:45:00.000 Could you imagine where we'd be right now if Kamala got up in there, dog?
00:45:03.000 Could you imagine?
00:45:05.000 How we would be a lot different, right? 0.99
00:45:08.000 You know, so we're experiencing the consequences of not trusting a black woman.
00:45:12.000 And now we have this show in a way that can kind of tell you how great it could be. 0.99
00:45:16.000 Yeah. 0.93
00:45:16.000 And how great of a superhero we can create and have if you trust a black woman. 0.93
00:45:21.000 It's really dope. 1.00
00:45:23.000 It's not dope at all.
00:45:25.000 It's really not. 1.00
00:45:26.000 The kind of future that we could have had if we trusted a black woman, it wasn't because Kabbalah was black, it was because she was a moron. 1.00
00:45:32.000 It's because she was the border czar. 1.00
00:45:35.000 20 million people come across the border without even going to it.
00:45:38.000 Yeah.
00:45:38.000 And then not knowing why that was a problem and answering every question with a bunch of run on sentences that made no freaking sense.
00:45:44.000 Yeah.
00:45:45.000 It just, we would have had a very bad, bad country. 1.00
00:45:48.000 But it's like, well, because she's black, things would have been good. 1.00
00:45:52.000 But why don't they, I would just like to sit there in that interview and say, okay, quantify it. 1.00
00:45:56.000 Where would we be?
00:45:57.000 Because they have no answer. 1.00
00:45:58.000 It just sounds like a nice platitude to say, well, if the black person was in charge, if the black woman was in charge. 1.00
00:46:03.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:46:03.000 I mean, it's kind of nice for them, right? 0.98
00:46:05.000 It's kind of nice when they can go, wow, look at the future we could have had.
00:46:08.000 Look what we could have had.
00:46:09.000 It's a better alternative than actually achieving power because once you're in power, then you have to answer for the faults of that leader. 0.81
00:46:15.000 Well, and you actually have to do things that make race relations better.
00:46:20.000 Were race relations better or worse under Barack Obama?
00:46:23.000 That's right.
00:46:24.000 They were way, way, way worse under Barack Obama. 0.97
00:46:29.000 And it wasn't because white America came out and said, I just can't be in a country with a black president. 0.91
00:46:34.000 It's because you made race everything. 0.95
00:46:37.000 Everything was about race.
00:46:38.000 When we had really moved largely past a lot of that stuff, largely.
00:46:44.000 There is a large section of, especially the entertainment industry and the people that are forward facing like this, that depend on racism for their continued income.
00:46:52.000 Yeah.
00:46:52.000 And it is not doing a favor to keep projecting your failures on an entire race of people.
00:46:58.000 Because if you meet a black person or if you are having a conversation or you have a relationship, it is wholly inadequate to judge that individual person based on whatever skin color they might not have or they might have, whatever. 1.00
00:47:10.000 It's stupid and it's low IQ. 0.99
00:47:13.000 But you start, have to, you, they have forced us to look at themselves as a group and say, okay, if you want me to see you as a group, here's the statistics that this group is bearing out. 1.00
00:47:23.000 No, no, no, you can't do that. 0.98
00:47:25.000 Statistics suck. 0.99
00:47:26.000 But they want you to. 1.00
00:47:27.000 These people do.
00:47:28.000 Not the people you interact with in your daily life, not the person you go to the gym with, not your co worker.
00:47:33.000 But these people want you to see all of them as a monolith.
00:47:36.000 And if that's the case, then what decision, what conclusions are we supposed to come to when it comes to things like crime?
00:47:41.000 When it comes to things like crime.
00:47:44.000 And maybe if we go back to crime.
00:47:47.000 I don't know if you, I'm trying to put a fine point on the problem.
00:47:51.000 Crime. 1.00
00:47:52.000 These dumbasses are doing the biggest disservice to black people of anybody. 1.00
00:47:55.000 Yes. 1.00
00:47:55.000 And they should be ashamed of it. 1.00
00:47:56.000 Absolutely. 0.92
00:47:57.000 And I mean, we should be able to go, like, hey, black people, like, you know, I grew up in the 90s.
00:48:03.000 We looked at criminals as the problem. 0.89
00:48:05.000 We didn't look at black people as a problem. 0.66
00:48:07.000 Do you understand?
00:48:07.000 You see how that works?
00:48:09.000 If it had a certain percentage that was committed by black people, guess who was calling? 0.99
00:48:13.000 Other black people were. 0.77
00:48:15.000 We had these voices that were very sane and very rational that were not anti their own culture and they were not pro white culture.
00:48:23.000 They were just reasonable people calling balls and strikes. 0.66
00:48:26.000 And right now, it just is a team jersey game.
00:48:29.000 We're back to being a team jersey game.
00:48:31.000 Is that really where any of us want to be?
00:48:33.000 And how much worse would it be under a Kamala Harris presidency?
00:48:38.000 There's nothing about it that would be any better. 0.95
00:48:41.000 Name one thing that would be better with Kamala Harris in office right now. 0.56
00:48:45.000 And I know a bunch of people that we wouldn't be at war with Iran.
00:48:48.000 Are you kidding me?
00:48:49.000 Name one war that they've done better on.
00:48:52.000 Donald Trump was getting us out of Afghanistan, Barack Obama expanded it.
00:48:57.000 Tell me how that would be better.
00:49:00.000 You can't name one single thing.
00:49:02.000 Now, I can tell you some things that are better because of what this administration is doing.
00:49:06.000 And listen, that doesn't make me a shill for the administration.
00:49:08.000 Again, call balls and strikes.
00:49:11.000 I get really pissed off when people act like there's nothing good that happens in the administration.
00:49:16.000 And so I have to come out and go, wait a minute, there are some good things.
00:49:19.000 Here are the good things.
00:49:20.000 Here are the bad things.
00:49:22.000 Let's just call it even instead of looking at every single bad thing and saying, none of the good even matters.
00:49:28.000 Here's a good one.
00:49:28.000 Yesterday, the entire media world was in a collective meltdown because, what?
00:49:34.000 What?
00:49:35.000 Oh, yeah, Donald Trump's oil deal, this huge win, potentially.
00:49:38.000 With Venezuela.
00:49:40.000 We enter into a legally questionable business deal to basically loot Venezuela's oil reserves.
00:49:49.000 It's not really clear that President Trump and the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital, which is engineering this deal, actually has any legal authority to do any of this.
00:49:59.000 Any of this.
00:50:00.000 I have no idea how the actual nuts and bolts of this will work.
00:50:06.000 What is this other than the United States essentially pillaging other countries?
00:50:12.000 Economic resources.
00:50:13.000 You want to call me and America a neocolonialist oil grabber?
00:50:17.000 Great.
00:50:18.000 Yeah, I'm all in on that.
00:50:20.000 We'll see what the deal actually results in, but it's breathtaking.
00:50:24.000 Yeah, breathtaking is right.
00:50:27.000 It's fantastic.
00:50:28.000 Here's something I want you to understand we're not going in there and stealing their oil, by the way.
00:50:33.000 What is it, like a 60 billion barrels out of the 300 and something billion barrel reserves that they have?
00:50:40.000 We're doing something that we have done.
00:50:42.000 Before you guys remember Saudi Arabia, how it was kind of nothing.
00:50:48.000 The United States developed Saudi Arabia's oil industry pre 1930s.
00:50:52.000 Saudi Arabia had no oil industry, no exploration technology, no refining or export infrastructure, no proven reserves.
00:51:01.000 You know, all the Gulf states over there, yeah, that used to be a part of the Indian Raj under the British Empire, they let them walk because they had nothing to offer anybody at the time. 0.62
00:51:13.000 It doesn't matter what you have in the ground.
00:51:15.000 It matters if you can extract it and bring it to market.
00:51:18.000 And Venezuela has proven that they cannot under the regime that was in place before we took out Maduro.
00:51:25.000 They absolutely have proven that they cannot.
00:51:27.000 What?
00:51:28.000 And now Saudi Arabia has solid gold Lamborghinis.
00:51:31.000 They do.
00:51:31.000 And so the situation with Saudi Arabia, very similar.
00:51:35.000 We signed, I think, a 60 year deal.
00:51:37.000 Oil companies came together and invested a ton of money into the economy.
00:51:41.000 And then Saudi Arabia, the company was called Aramco.
00:51:44.000 Saudi Arabia bought out those rights in 1980.
00:51:47.000 And then in 1988, they had Saudi Aramco.
00:51:50.000 And now they have tons and tons and tons of money in infrastructure that's built there.
00:51:54.000 We didn't rape and pillage.
00:51:56.000 That's not what happened.
00:51:57.000 Every single time something happens in this administration that President Trump does, they try to bring out these facts like, oh, this is just like colonialism.
00:52:05.000 No, we've done this before, and people need to start pointing that.
00:52:08.000 Now, you can say Saudi Arabia in the position they're currently in may be a bad thing. 1.00
00:52:11.000 That's fine.
00:52:12.000 I understand that argument, but we didn't rape and pillage. 0.90
00:52:14.000 For who in Saudi Arabia is life worse now than it was then? 0.97
00:52:17.000 Exactly.
00:52:18.000 I mean, maybe the contractors that were hired to build the line, but other than those people.
00:52:22.000 Well, those guys, yeah.
00:52:23.000 The line's just kind of one of those fictional things that's never going to happen.
00:52:26.000 So now.
00:52:27.000 The White House has released a fact sheet detailing the agreement.
00:52:30.000 Now, make sure you understand this is not a contract yet, so we have to actually see what ends up in the contract.
00:52:34.000 Correct.
00:52:35.000 But this is from the president, a quote from him?
00:52:38.000 This is the White House.
00:52:39.000 Just the White House community, okay.
00:52:41.000 All right, so in the biggest oil deal in world history, President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela, vastly expanding our current U.S. territorial proven reserves of roughly 46 billion barrels.
00:52:57.000 That's a good thing.
00:52:59.000 We basically just doubled.
00:53:01.000 Over doubled our access to oil for the long term.
00:53:04.000 And the deal is a joint venture between Venezuela's North American Blue Energy Partners and the Pentagon.
00:53:11.000 Now, here's what the United States gets we get a 35% equity stake in that company.
00:53:16.000 It's the NABEP.
00:53:18.000 Is that what they're calling it?
00:53:19.000 I was going to go NABEP.
00:53:21.000 NABEP.
00:53:21.000 NABEP.
00:53:22.000 The parent company.
00:53:23.000 We have the right to purchase 20% of oil at production cost, which I think was roughly 19 a barrel, is what some numbers are floating around.
00:53:30.000 We'll see.
00:53:30.000 30 is about the.
00:53:31.000 Is it 30 now?
00:53:31.000 Since it's one that I can find.
00:53:33.000 It fits at 65.
00:53:34.000 Benchmark, then 30 would be roughly at cost.
00:53:37.000 Gotcha.
00:53:37.000 Okay.
00:53:37.000 So 30.
00:53:38.000 Right of refusal on the remaining 80%.
00:53:42.000 Pretty simple, right?
00:53:43.000 But here's the other thing.
00:53:44.000 We also have veto power over board appointments, and a majority of the board must be U.S. citizens.
00:53:50.000 Ah, there's some of the protection mechanisms to make sure that we don't get screwed or get screwed as easily as the last time that American companies invested in that country.
00:53:58.000 And the guy that's in charge of this company, the NABEP, he is a.
00:54:02.000 Come on, say it.
00:54:03.000 NABAP. 0.79
00:54:04.000 NABAP.
00:54:05.000 NABAP.
00:54:05.000 NABEAP.
00:54:06.000 NABEAP.
00:54:07.000 Alejandro Delincourt.
00:54:09.000 I forgot how to say it.
00:54:10.000 Delacroix.
00:54:11.000 Betancourt.
00:54:11.000 Sorry.
00:54:12.000 Alejandro Betancourt.
00:54:13.000 He is very much a Trump ally.
00:54:15.000 He was very fruitful in the ouster of Maduro.
00:54:17.000 He's kind of been the back channel communication with Rodriguez, Dulcie Rodriguez.
00:54:22.000 So it's not an American per se, but he's someone that's very close with American interests.
00:54:28.000 Yes.
00:54:28.000 Pro.
00:54:29.000 Very much so.
00:54:29.000 Fantastic.
00:54:30.000 So here's what Venezuela gets Nabat investment of $100 billion into Venezuela infrastructure and production.
00:54:37.000 That's key because they don't have that right now. 0.98
00:54:39.000 They suck. 1.00
00:54:40.000 At oil, and they got a ton of oil. 1.00
00:54:42.000 Remember, this is a private company, this is not a state run company that's doing this.
00:54:45.000 And then $200 billion in payments over the next 25 years that's projected tax revenue, royalties, things like that.
00:54:51.000 So it's not just cash we're giving them, it's actually a part of actually getting some of the oil out and profits.
00:54:57.000 So that makes a lot of sense.
00:54:59.000 But here's something else they also get their very own Margaritaville.
00:55:02.000 They're everywhere, they deserve to have fun.
00:55:12.000 Everybody deserves to get drunk and throw up during the middle of the day. 1.00
00:55:14.000 I don't think Venezuelans need a margarita. 1.00
00:55:18.000 Like, what are they, Holmes? 1.00
00:55:19.000 We got this.
00:55:21.000 If Stephen weren't here, he would tell you that nobody needs a margarita.
00:55:24.000 They don't.
00:55:24.000 They don't.
00:55:26.000 Didn't you have a parrot head shirt on the other day?
00:55:28.000 It's not a parrot head shirt.
00:55:29.000 It's just a shirt that has a parrot on the back of it.
00:55:33.000 It's a parrot head shirt.
00:55:34.000 There are no shirts that just randomly have parrots in the back of it.
00:55:37.000 It was the fourth nicest shirt I could find at Walmart.
00:55:39.000 Ah, at Walmart while you were getting a sub sandwich and doing some doctor's appointments?
00:55:43.000 Yeah.
00:55:44.000 What's your problem with Walmart, Gerald?
00:55:45.000 I have a lot of problems with Walmart.
00:55:47.000 What are you, Mr. Uppity?
00:55:47.000 Mr. Target?
00:55:48.000 No.
00:55:49.000 I'm Mr. None of the Above.
00:55:51.000 Oh.
00:55:51.000 I don't want to do my shopping and knock out my to do list.
00:55:54.000 Neiman Marcus.
00:55:55.000 Oh.
00:55:57.000 No.
00:55:58.000 I get accused of buying all my clothes from one place that I haven't shopped at in like five years.
00:56:01.000 We went in there.
00:56:02.000 I asked the guy if he knew you, and he said, You have a membership.
00:56:05.000 That's not true.
00:56:05.000 None of that is true.
00:56:06.000 Johnny Boy was there.
00:56:07.000 You could ask him.
00:56:08.000 He told me it's not true.
00:56:09.000 You're just making stuff up again, Josh.
00:56:11.000 Like your love for male cheerleaders in the NFL.
00:56:13.000 It's weird.
00:56:14.000 Wouldn't do that.
00:56:15.000 Gerald goes to Whole Foods.
00:56:17.000 They jump higher.
00:56:17.000 Don't say that about me.
00:56:18.000 Whole Foods.
00:56:19.000 That's a horrible rumor to start, Tim.
00:56:22.000 We should get back on top of it. 1.00
00:56:25.000 Let's talk about Venezuelan oil and not stupid Whole Foods. 0.99
00:56:28.000 It may be fine. 0.99
00:56:28.000 I don't know. 0.99
00:56:29.000 I'm just not a big fan.
00:56:30.000 Pray, Dad, you know what to do. 1.00
00:56:31.000 So, jerk. 0.99
00:56:34.000 So, here are three things to know about this deal. 0.99
00:56:36.000 So, number one is the timeline.
00:56:38.000 So, the target is 17 oil fields, including eight new sites.
00:56:42.000 And the goal is greater than 1.5 million barrels per day.
00:56:46.000 2035 would be the earliest infrastructure could extract at that level.
00:56:50.000 We should be getting some production prior to that, but it's going to take a little while for us to build that up and get to that kind of capacity.
00:56:56.000 And the guy in charge of this company is very well known for increasing production capacity of Venezuela's oil fields. 0.99
00:57:02.000 Prior, he was actually kicked out of the country by Maduro, and then they realized, oh shit, everything that he was running is shit. 0.99
00:57:08.000 So they brought him back. 0.99
00:57:09.000 He's very good at expanding production very quickly.
00:57:13.000 And the idea that this is going to lower gas prices is wrong.
00:57:16.000 No one is even making that claim.
00:57:17.000 Nope.
00:57:18.000 If they are, they should not be.
00:57:19.000 It's going to be oil at minimum, it's going to be about five years before we see anything coming out of those fields for the most part.
00:57:25.000 That's what we're going to put this in the strategic reserve.
00:57:26.000 Yes.
00:57:27.000 And then people say, we can't refine the heavy sour that's coming from Venezuela.
00:57:30.000 Not true.
00:57:31.000 All of our refineries are built to refine heavy sour.
00:57:33.000 Yes.
00:57:33.000 They're just.
00:57:34.000 Everyone's stupid that's talking about this. 1.00
00:57:36.000 Everybody is stupid. 1.00
00:57:36.000 So there are some legal arguments as well. 1.00
00:57:39.000 The Pentagon Authority is coming into question.
00:57:41.000 It's unclear if the Office of Strategic Capital has legal authority to actually oversee an equity investment.
00:57:47.000 So we'll figure that out.
00:57:48.000 I feel like that can be dealt with pretty easily one way or the other.
00:57:51.000 They tried to write around it in the language of this.
00:57:53.000 But essentially, this was an office that was designed to guarantee loans and stuff like that and not necessarily take joint venture stake in foreign companies.
00:58:03.000 But, you know, we'll see.
00:58:04.000 Yeah.
00:58:05.000 We'll see how it goes. 0.77
00:58:06.000 Also, you would need congressional approval to spend money on the purchases of the oil once that comes.
00:58:11.000 But again, that's in five years, roughly.
00:58:13.000 So that will be something that we'll have to potentially fight over.
00:58:16.000 Though, if companies have invested billions and billions and billions of dollars to bring this oil to market and it finally starts flowing, it would be really stupid not to buy it at a gigantic discount.
00:58:25.000 Right. 0.69
00:58:26.000 But Congress does what Congress does.
00:58:28.000 So there's also some competing claims with Exxon and Conoco, right?
00:58:32.000 Conoco.
00:58:33.000 Yeah.
00:58:33.000 I said Conoco.
00:58:33.000 Because remember, they're the ones that got that big lawsuit settlement.
00:58:36.000 Was it like $10 billion or $9 billion total, something like that?
00:58:39.000 Roughly, yeah, $9 billion total.
00:58:41.000 Eight and one.
00:58:41.000 And so, if this money starts flowing into the United States, well, then these two companies are going to have some sort of legal claim to that.
00:58:47.000 That should be our money because we lost it.
00:58:50.000 Right.
00:58:50.000 So, there is some issue that we have to deal with there.
00:58:52.000 But I think all of these things can be worked out.
00:58:54.000 Trump has been meeting.
00:58:55.000 We're all on the same page, yes.
00:58:56.000 Well, there's billions of dollars for everybody to make.
00:58:58.000 There's an economy that is going to get revitalized in Venezuela and a strategic deal that the United States would benefit from for years and years and years to come.
00:59:07.000 So, people can get on the same page.
00:59:09.000 Despite Trump, this will be an investment that's better off for everybody in the next five months.
00:59:13.000 Well, hey, guess what?
00:59:14.000 If Republicans win the White House, they can take credit for continuing this deal and getting it done.
00:59:19.000 If Democrats win, they can say, hey, we actually fixed this terrible deal that President Trump did, but hey, here's the oil and we're making a lot of money on it.
00:59:26.000 So everybody seems to be able to find a way to win.
00:59:28.000 So, also, Venezuelan law, it's unconstitutional for foreign interests to own Venezuela's unextracted oil reserves, but it's legal to hold stakes in the businesses of extracting and selling that oil.
00:59:39.000 So, again, seems like there's ways around this.
00:59:41.000 There are.
00:59:42.000 Here's a fun one.
00:59:43.000 Number three China's energy status.
00:59:47.000 China, they were the main purchaser of Venezuelan sanctioned oil and they loaned $100 billion and they were paid back.
00:59:54.000 In oil, they were in the process of being paid back.
00:59:57.000 Ah, wait a minute.
00:59:58.000 There's like a caveat. 1.00
00:59:59.000 They were in the process of being that's gotta suck, China. 1.00
01:00:01.000 That hurts, that stings, doesn't it? 0.98
01:00:03.000 The Chinese firms previously controlled millions of barrels and Venezuelan reserves, and five of the new U.S. projects were owned or operated by Chinese firms.
01:00:12.000 I feel like he threw those in just for funsies.
01:00:15.000 Like, we want those five, yeah, sir.
01:00:18.000 There's others to pick from those five.
01:00:20.000 China is clearly worried with the foreign ministry making this statement.
01:00:24.000 China Venezuela cooperation is protected by international law.
01:00:27.000 Who cares?
01:00:28.000 And the laws of both countries.
01:00:29.000 Also, who cares?
01:00:31.000 China's legitimate rights and interests in Venezuela must be guaranteed.
01:00:34.000 Make us.
01:00:35.000 Economic and trade cooperation between countries should follow the principles of equality, mutual benefit, and win win cooperation.
01:00:41.000 Guess what?
01:00:41.000 They're going to win win better with us than win win with you.
01:00:44.000 That's just so rich coming from China. 0.94
01:00:45.000 I know.
01:00:46.000 It's like China's going to try to play this moral high ground card in international law. 0.96
01:00:50.000 How about go screw yourselves, China? 0.99
01:00:52.000 It's time we start playing the game a little bit better than you. 1.00
01:00:54.000 And I think we've been a little too easy on China. 1.00
01:00:55.000 We have.
01:00:56.000 And Trump's been very good at that.
01:00:57.000 And I think there were arguments made that Venezuela was all about China and that Iran was all about China.
01:01:01.000 And I would disagree.
01:01:01.000 Agree with that, but I do think there's obviously downstream effects that are beneficial towards us in that competition because China's weathered this Iran deal.
01:01:09.000 They get a lot of oil from Iran, but they've been able to weather it because they have huge reserves built up.
01:01:14.000 Yeah.
01:01:14.000 And they've been able to cut imports, tap into those.
01:01:17.000 And also, they do have a lot of electric vehicles on the road, which saves them on this.
01:01:22.000 But the war machine cannot operate on, you know, Priuses and whatever, BYDs.
01:01:27.000 I'd love to see it, though.
01:01:28.000 It would be pretty funny.
01:01:29.000 We have to charge our carrier.
01:01:31.000 Hold on.
01:01:32.000 Jeez.
01:01:33.000 Oh, that's a 20 years.
01:01:34.000 Yeah.
01:01:35.000 The tank went 12 miles, got to charge up.
01:01:37.000 Ah.
01:01:38.000 The more you can choke them off from potentially being able to supply that military machine in the future, someone asked, Are we preparing for World War III?
01:01:46.000 Yes.
01:01:46.000 And you should always be preparing for World War III so you don't have to fight World War III.
01:01:50.000 It'd be fantastic. 0.85
01:01:51.000 Naguar.
01:01:52.000 Naguar.
01:01:52.000 Naguar.
01:01:53.000 Absolutely.
01:01:55.000 Funny you should mention World War III.
01:01:56.000 I seem to get into a little bit of a yelling match with somebody recently in a debate about World War III.
01:02:01.000 But listen, Donald Trump.
01:02:04.000 Seems to be playing chess here in a pretty nice way, especially with Venezuela.
01:02:08.000 The Iran stuff, there's a lot of argument about that.
01:02:10.000 And if that ends up becoming something that is a not negative ending, we could all be going, okay, hey, you dealt with two of their suppliers of oil that were substantial.
01:02:23.000 They're not going to completely change the game overnight, but they are going to help us out significantly.
01:02:28.000 And by the way, one of the reasons that our gas prices haven't gone up is because we're tapping our own reserves right now to keep enough oil in the system to keep the prices from going up too much.
01:02:37.000 Now, that At some point, it stops, and you can't do that anymore. 0.99
01:02:39.000 And so that's why we need to get a good deal in Iran and get the hell out of there and make sure that we deal with all of this. 0.99
01:02:45.000 But listen, when it comes down to Venezuela, 100% a win so far. 0.99
01:02:50.000 A lot of things have to happen still, but every single deal out there is going to take some time to kind of come to fruition.
01:02:56.000 That is going to be the case in Venezuela, but you cannot look at what he has done in Venezuela and say that that is not America first.
01:03:02.000 That is 100% America first.
01:03:04.000 Tapping into that much oil, proven reserves, not speculative, proven reserves that are just under.
01:03:10.000 Bad management, call it. 0.77
01:03:12.000 And going in there and doing something that is actually going to be good for America first, and then has the added benefit of being good for the Venezuelan people.
01:03:21.000 That is what we voted for this president to do.
01:03:25.000 And he's doing it right now.
01:03:27.000 I wonder if the people that are so critical of him will actually say that that's a good idea.
01:03:31.000 It's a good thing that he did.
01:03:32.000 I don't know.
01:03:33.000 But I do know.
01:03:34.000 And by the way, Dan, thank you for the raid.
01:03:36.000 I appreciate that.
01:03:37.000 We're going to go to Mug Club here in just a minute.
01:03:38.000 And if you are not a subscriber, go ahead and click that button.
01:03:42.000 $99 annually or $9.99 if you want to try it out.
01:03:45.000 Every single month, but you won't get the mug unless you do the year.
01:03:49.000 And it's a fine, girthy, fantastic, wonderful mug with the dual logos on it.
01:03:54.000 So make sure you do that and support us.
01:03:55.000 If you are not a subscriber, you're going to go on to Haley Caranilla.
01:03:59.000 Did I do it right?
01:04:00.000 Yeah.
01:04:00.000 Haley Caranilla.
01:04:02.000 Next.
01:04:05.000 And we would love to see you in Mug Club with some chat questions about first, male NFL cheerleaders, and second, and Josh's love for them, which is weird.
01:04:13.000 And second, what you think of the Clancy stuff.
01:04:18.000 But.
01:04:19.000 This conversation came up, and I did a debate at the end of July, I think.
01:04:23.000 We were getting that done and then just getting it all ready to go.
01:04:26.000 And I found out that it's coming out on September 2nd.
01:04:29.000 So, tomorrow at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, you can see it on Walk Away at Real Walk Away on either or on let's promote the one that we love, Rumble.
01:04:39.000 YouTube can go screw themselves.
01:04:40.000 But we got into some shouting matches here.
01:04:44.000 And I think it's helpful to understand that this administration sometimes does stuff that's right, sometimes it's wrong, and we can call it out when we need to.
01:04:52.000 But it's not World War III.
01:04:55.000 The debate continues.
01:04:56.000 And we ain't going to sit there while Democratic Socialists run their revolution.
01:04:59.000 You fell for Democrat op? 0.98
01:05:01.000 No!
01:05:06.000 How did a once unified coalition with a stated goal of making America great again come to a place where some of the most powerful voices in the movement are now leaving?
01:05:15.000 And you've got people on the right saying, we're no longer supporting the guy that got us here.
01:05:19.000 They were never really there to begin with.
01:05:21.000 It should have been for America first.
01:05:23.000 People are pissed because Trump went.
01:05:25.000 What the hell do you want to do about it?
01:05:27.000 I want him to stop what he's doing. 0.96
01:05:29.000 What the f?
01:05:29.000 Wow, what a wonderful plan.
01:05:31.000 I want him to stop.
01:05:32.000 He's been the best president we've had on immigration in a century.
01:05:35.000 He's the only president to ever meaningfully combat anti white discrimination.
01:05:38.000 Those are huge, monumental wins that on their own would have been the defining moments of other presidents' tenure.
01:05:46.000 These were his supporters until they weren't. 0.99
01:05:48.000 You guys have been talking mad shit about this guy. 0.98
01:05:51.000 What do you mean? 0.98
01:05:52.000 But Alex, you called for him to be 25th.
01:05:54.000 You did it twice.
01:05:55.000 I want to say this is the most hardcore debate ever.
01:05:57.000 Oh, but air is before we all die in nuclear war.
01:07:18.000 All right.
01:07:19.000 So, really quickly, go watch that debate when it comes out tomorrow.
01:07:21.000 Let me know what you think.
01:07:22.000 It's my first debate.
01:07:23.000 Let me just say this very quickly.
01:07:26.000 And I want to clip this and put it out on social media.
01:07:29.000 I didn't know we were giving a one minute opening statement.
